MACKIE DRM315-P - 15″ 3-Way Passive PA Speaker

MACKIE DRM315-P – 15″ 3-Way Passive PA Enclosure

The Mackie DRM315-P is a 15" passive professional line array loudspeaker, configured in a three-way configuration to deliver deep bass, detailed midrange, and crystal-clear highs across a 90° x 60° rotational coverage. Its 15" ferrite LF transducer, 6.5" MF driver, and 1.4" titanium-diaphragm HF compression driver handle up to 1,000 W RMS (2,000 W peak), generating a maximum SPL of 136 dB without distortion. A passive crossover tuned to 900 Hz/2.5 kHz and high-excursion woofer maintain tonal consistency in touring, club, and fixed installation applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which amplifier is recommended?
  It is recommended to use one of at least 1,200 W RMS @ 4 Ω for headroom and dynamic control.
• How do I set up the aerial array?
  Use the FB100 Flybar and FKDRM18S, along with the integrated M10 points, to fly up to four DRM12A-Ps and two DRM18S-Ps.
• Can I ground-stack without accessories?
  The trapezoidal design allows for stable stacking of units, although the optional bracket is recommended for additional security.
